Features and advantages Fast digital PID control Graph 5 - Hot water valve opening control The introduction of new digital PID control stabilises the chilled/hot water temperature with high accuracy. It quickly responds to the load fluctuation and supplies stable chilled/ hot water temperature. It is suitable for air-conditioning intelligent buildings which require sophisticated control. 15 minutes 30 minutes Hot water consumption (%) Hot water control opening ratio (%) Hot water consumption Temperature (°C) Balancing the load and flow rate with the absorbent pump’s inverter control enables efficient and energy-saving operation. As a result, it reduces input energy and electric power consumption. Running cost is decreased by 5% compared to non-inverter control.
